Native Moments

VE moments! when you come upon me—Ah you are here now!

Give me nowlibidinous joys only!

Give me the drench of my passions!

Give me lifecoarse and rank!

To-day,

I go consort with nature's darlings—to-night too;

I am for those who believe in loose delights—I share the midnight orgiesof young men;

I dance with the dancers, and drink with the drinkers;

Theechoes ring with our indecent calls;

I take for my love some prostitute—Ipick out some low person for my dearest friend,

He shall be lawless, rude,illiterate—he shall be one condemn'd by others for deeds done;

I will playa part no longer—Why should I exile myself from my companions?

O youshunn'd persons!

I at least do not shun you,

I come forthwith in yourmidst—I will be your poet,

I will be more to you than to any of the rest.
